Inside the city of Tongguan

"Our army should have held on, and the cold grain and grass in the west can be defeated, but why hasn't the grain and grass arrived now?" Cao Ang asked.

Cao Hongyan: "In order to hear the news, the grain and grass will arrive at Shouyang Mountain, which is fast, but this time the movement is so slow, I don't know what went wrong?" When the time comes, just ask. ”

Cao Ang was also angry, "The grain and grass will not arrive, and the military situation will be delayed." ”

Just as he was talking, the Xiliang army outside the city came to call out again, and the shouts shook the sky.

Cao Zhenyan: "Now that the grain and grass have not arrived, the army's morale is unstable, and it has changed over time. ”

Cao Ang had a plan, how to greatly boost the army's momentum, so he said to Xu Chu: "General Zhongkang, you need to fight, and if you win, Ma Chao will definitely boost the morale of our army." ”

Xu Chu shouted: "Leave it to me!" Defeat the horse super child! ”

Immediately, Cao's army went out of the city to set up a formation, and Xu Chu bore the brunt of it and entered the front.

Ma Chao saw each other from a distance, his eyes were shining, and he was majestic. Then he rushed with his horse and gun, stood in front of the formation, and shouted: "Tiger Wait, I am here!" ”

Xu Chu slapped the horse and danced the knife out, slashed straight down, and Ma Chao blocked it with a horizontal gun. Xu Chu slashed three times in a row, and Ma Chao blocked three moves. Then he swung his gun and hit it, and Xu Chu dodged on his back. The two rode past.

Ma Chao drank heavily, drove the horse and stabbed it with a gun, Xu Chu blocked and hidden, and Ma Chao couldn't hurt him. Ma Chao stabbed Xu Chu to go, Xu Chu saw it, pressed the knife to block, Ma Chao saw the opportunity, stabbed the horse, Xu Chu slapped the horse to dodge.

The two horses galloped on the field, and they fought all the way up to the fence.

Ma Chao forced Xu Chu to the fence, Xu Chu stabbed at the fence, picked it up, and swung it at Ma Chao, Ma Chao lay on his back to dodge. Xu Chu took advantage of the momentum to slash, Ma Chao noticed it, and raised his gun to block it.

"Ahh At this time, Xu Chu's big knife slashed and pressed Ma Chao fiercely, and he couldn't get up.

Ma Chao's horse suddenly knelt down, Xu Chu was startled, and Ma Chao took the opportunity to break away and rise up. The two fought for more than 100 rounds, and there was no winner or loser.

Ma Chao shouted: "Now that I am tired of waiting for the horses, it is better to change horses and fight again!" ”

Xu Chu followed, "You wait! "Anyway, go back to the city to change horses, and Ma Chao will also return to the team and change horses.

Cao Angyan in the city said to the crowd: "The horses are tired of running, but their arms that wield weapons are not tired?" "All the ministers and soldiers were shocked, and their morale was greatly increased, so what is there to fear of such a brave general.

Xu Chu knew that this battle was important and undefeatable. Then the soldiers came, "Wait for me to come and take off my armor!" ”

Xu Chu took off his armor, carried his knife shirtless, turned over his horse, and then rushed to the battlefield.

The two armies were horrified, "This has no armor, and if it is stabbed, it will die!" The soldiers of the Xiliang Army and the Cao Army all said the same.

Ma Chaocai ignored it and continued the previous battle, the two fought for more than 30 rounds, Ma Chao looked for an opportunity to slap the unarmored body, but Xu Chu grabbed the gun stick with one hand, and Ma Chao couldn't pull it out.

Xu Chu swung his knife and slashed, Ma Chao dodged, and also grabbed his knife and stick, the two grabbed each other's blades, and fell off the horse suddenly, and the two still didn't let go, stalemate with each other.

When Han Sui saw this, he immediately ordered to rush and kill.

Cao Jun came out of the city, rescued Xu Chu, the two armies fought a melee, Xu Chu and Ma Chao each retreated to the camp, Cao Ang closed the city and couldn't hold out, and today is a battle to temporarily stabilize the army's heart.

Shouyang Mountain

Cao Jun's grain and grass were escorted through Tongguan from here.

Pang De had already arrived here to ambush, and he had to report to the Cao army before escorting him, and then led the army to rush and kill, "Not good!" There are enemy troops robbing food! ”

After a short time, the Cao army fled, and Pang De killed everyone, "Wait until you go to check whether the grain and grass are true?" ”

Then I asked people to check and found that there was no problem. "This battle has been won, and the Tong Pass will be broken in a few days." After that, he let everyone burn grain and grass, and led the troops to ambush Tongguan to retreat.

When the investigation returned, the grain and grass were robbed. Cao Jun was shocked, and the army's heart was in turmoil.

As everyone knows, it is difficult to defend this place without food. The ministers persuaded them to retreat from Tongguan and guard the land east of the river.

In a few days, Cao's army marched east of the river.

Pang De was in the place of the ambush path, and he learned that Cao's army had begun to retreat from the city and head east of the river. Pang Dexi said, "Brother, we will lead the troops to intercept and kill, and the army of Gongzi will definitely come from behind soon." ”

After a short time, the Cao army in front retreated sharply, and Pang De rushed forward, "Kill!" ”

The general who led the army was Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan ordered to set up a formation to rush and kill, and Pang De saw what Cao Jun did, and it seemed that he had been prepared, unlike the fleeing army.

Xiahou Yuan said: "We are in the middle of the plan! I knew that the Xiliang soldiers were ambushed here! I'm here to get rid of the trouble! ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Yuan rushed forward with a knife and slashed against Pang De, Pang De slashed horizontally, and Xiahou Yuan fought with him for a few moves, and he knew that this person's martial arts were extraordinary, and the Xiliang Army still had such brave generals.

Xiahou Yuan said: "You are not as good as my eldest brother. ”

Pang De also said: "You are not as good as my son-in-law." ”

The two fought together, more than 50 moves, and they couldn't win, but the Xiliang soldiers were killed by the prepared Cao army, Pang De saw that the plan was revealed, and it was unfavorable to fight again, and the grain and grass had been destroyed, so they would definitely not be able to hold it anymore. So he fled, led his troops to Pusaka, and crossed the river and returned.

On the Wei River, several warships headed towards Tongguan.

The leader is Jia Kui, who saw that Ma Chao and other troops did not come to call for war for a period of time, so he knew that there might be other plans, and eighty percent was to cross the river and cut off food. In this regard, Cao Ang asked Jia Kui to take the order to go in person and transport grain from the river to help, and the team on the road served as a lure to the enemy.

Jia Kui returned here, "The grain and grass have arrived, fortunately not dishonored!" ”

Cao Ang was finally relieved, fortunately there was a deputy strategy to exercise, otherwise Shouyang Mountain would have been robbed, and he might really have to retreat. "Now that our army's food and grass have arrived, Ma Chao and they can no longer stay here, and they will definitely retreat and leave."

Ma Chao and Han Sui military camps

Ma Chao has already reported that Pang De successfully won the grain, but why is Cao Jun still holding on now, is it difficult to hold on?

Han Sui said: "Cao Jun has no food and grass, and he will not retreat now, after all, it will not last long, and it will win in a few days, so the virtuous nephew does not have to worry." ”

Ma Chaoyan said: "It's better to be like this. ”

At this time, Pound led the troops back to the barracks. Tell yourself what happened, "I have robbed the grain and grass, but I wanted to ambush and wait for you to arrive, but I was killed by the other party's plan." ”

Ma Chao asked: "In the past few days, Cao Jun has been fine. Is it true that you robbed grain and grass? ”

Pound said: "There is no problem. ”

When Han Sui heard this, he already understood what was going on, so he said: "The other party must have new grain and grass, and there is more than one road to grain and grass, it seems that this place can no longer stay, so Meng Qi should withdraw his troops." ”

Xiliang transported grain, the road was difficult, and the farther Ma Chaojun went, the more difficult it was to send it. Ma Chao couldn't do it at this time, so he had to withdraw his troops back to Chang'an City first and wait for the grain and grass to arrive.

Cao Ang knew that Ma Chao's army was retreating, and immediately discussed breaking the enemy and marching to Chang'an.

"Now that Ma Chao has returned to Chang'an to defend, Chang'an City is difficult to attack, and the Xiliang army is brave, we will fight head-on, and we can't break it or win. At this time, they were waiting for the grain to arrive, and Cao Zhenru led the troops to cross the Jing River, and after reaching the Xiliang army, they cut off their grain and grass. The rest will follow me to Chang'an head-on, face the enemy head-on, just hold on, no need to fight! Cao Ang ordered, and everyone marched accordingly.

Xudu, Caofu.

"How?" Pang Tong asked casually in front of his seat.

Cao Xiu said: "According to what the military advisor said, all the people involved in this matter have been arrested, and they will confess under severe punishment." ”

Pang Tong said indifferently: "The biggest 'snake' in the rear of our army is none other than this important minister of the Han family, Xun Yu. The new empire has already been established, but now it still holds the dream of the Han dynasty and does not want to wake up. ”
